I have bad painful acne, nothing over-the-counter helps even minimise breakouts, it actually worsens it. what, if anything, can i do?

If..: If you have tried multiple over the counter remedies and nothing is helping, especially if acne is severe and painful, then it is time to visit a Dermatologist(Skin doctor) for treatment with antibiotics and more powerful medication. Best wishes.
